This paper presents a qualitative analysis of 25 interviews with followers who work for servant leaders based on their servant leadership survey scores of 4.0 or higher. Interviews are divided between three generational cohorts – Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. This quasi-deductive qualitative study explores the perceptions of three generational cohorts of followers of servant leaders in order to provide new insights into servant leadership. The result is a framework composed of individual leader characteristics, leader activities, leader behaviors, and follower responses and results that appeal to three generational cohorts. | Download
